Jesus Prayer: https://www.contemplativelight.com/blog/2017/6/5/the-jesus-prayer-and-integral-christianity
The Jesus Prayer has long served mystics as a one-ticket route to Divine Union on The Christian Mystical Path. However, the territory one travels in consistent, disciplined use of the prayer can seem vague and nebulous at times, even when God's brilliant Light is shining the fiercest. It helps my own journey tremendously to make use of the hidden maps and patterns that Ken Wilber, Carl Jung, and other great minds have described for us in their work. What Wilber calls the Witnessing stage of the mystical path (Dark Night of the Spirit in St. John of the Cross lingo) is actually a simple and transcendent "resting in God," as Christian contemplatives like to say. It is simply the silent Observer (Tolle) behind our thoughts and feelings.
